    Best free player for FLAC files

    As a former and still occasional Foobar2000 user I cannot recommend it highly enough. It's not the easiest software to use, that said it will work from a simple install. If you are the sort of person who wants to tweak there is nothing better. The learning curve on the more complex stuff can be...

    50 posts...

    I have no idea how anyone gets to 7000 posts. I don't think I've read that many in my lifetime :)

    Finally 50 posts (assuming this one counts) only took nine years. :)

    Buffalo Logistics: new delivery kid on the block- any good?

    I made the mistake of having my wife believe me when I mentioned there was something she would find interesting in these forums. Apparently we now giving buffalo a try as she needs some stuff... I don't want to know more :)

    Joke for the day

    This is the most cruel and sadistic think I've ever seen.

    Your rig

    I am 100% behind this, I see which gives me most bang for my buck when I'm buying and go that route. Never had a problem either way.

    Stand alone streamers

    Another big thumbs up for roon on a nuc (yes its overkill but jellyfish etc.. all run happily together) and for me it's the best listening interface. Once you've rooned thee there is no escape.

    Buffalo Logistics: new delivery kid on the block- any good?

    Would someone mind posting prices to get a feel, I've been thinking about using them.

    Losing interest

    You put this perfectly. Music is a deeply personal (but can be communal experience). The whole point of the hobby is just that have fun. If you not enjoying it you probably doing it wrong for you. As for metal, I invented (or like to think I did but probably, I stole the idea somewhere) a game...

    Lowest resolution

    I understand completly hence my original post, perhaps it's old age but I have to sit listen and know the music and I can then hear the flac / 320 difference. But if it's my first or second time comparison with a new piece even though I know what I should be hearing it's simply not there for me...

    Lowest resolution

    All the discussion around MQA etc.. got me thinking what is the lowest resolution (assuming good compression was run) that you feel comfortable with on, a system that can differentiate in playback. I gave this a try and as they say the results may surprise you :) In a car 128 and 192 sound the...

    Spotify HIFI

    Agreed! <blush> many will call me tone deaf but after much listening on decent kit I really can't tell the difference between MQA and standard CD if anything (and it may be placebo) in my own testing MQA sounded worse. Hopefully it's demise has not been understated.

    Why digitise vinyl?

    I agree 100% this is one of the best reasons to listen to vinyl. I am surprised we have not seen "post loudness wars" remaster releases (or perhaps I just missed this). For me the LWs have really ruined what could otherwise have been some very good albums. I'm NOT a person with a so called...

    Spotify HIFI

    For me spotify hifi is not really a thing. Tidal Roon (they won't ever link with spotify apparently) is my home running system, and has been since the Tidal integration first started. Spotify family for wife and children. As for myself if it's not on tidal and I dont have it on CD I've probably...

    Whats on the TT...

    This SA pressing comment got me to pull out my old local pressing of the pros and cons of hitchhiking with the censored bikini painted on the hitchhiker. Anyone known of other South African pressings that were censored?
